Taseko Making Preparations for New Prosperity Court Battle

The Province reported that Taseko Mines Ltd. (TSX:TKO,NYSEMKT:TGB) has filed an application asking that its two federal court applications against the Canadian government be set for a single trial.

The applications are regarding the rejection of its New Prosperity copper-gold mine in British Columbia.

As quoted in the market news:

Earlier this year, the government cited the potential impact on a lake considered sacred by area First Nations in rejecting the New Prosperity mine, which is located about 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake, B.C.

Taseko first filed an application challenging a report written by a review panel with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, and then filed a second application once the government turned down the project.

The Tsilhqot’in nations say they’re looking forward to getting into the courtroom as Taseko fights for the largest undeveloped gold and copper deposit in Canada.
